Types of Software <ul><li>Stand-alone – resides on a single PC only </li></ul><ul><li>Client/Server-based – a central server is used and client software must be installed and/or registered on networked PC’s that connect to the server </li></ul><ul><li>Browser-based – a web-type browser server resides on the network and networked PC’s can access the server from virtually any web-browser. (no additional software needs to be installed on remote PC’s) </li></ul>
